FEATURES
• Deck Height: 9.800”
• Bore Size: 4.600” with siamese extra thick cylinder walls to resist cracking and improve ring seal (minimum .300” thick with 4.625” bore).
• Uses +.300” tall lifters.
• Mains: 4 Bolt ductile caps have splayed outer bolts for extra strength.
• True priority main oil system lubricates the main bearings before the lifters. Our stepped main oil gallery (9/16“ to 1/2“ to 7/16“) increases the flow of oil to the crank at high RPM, and our front oil crossover eliminates internal oil leaks around the distributor shaft.
• Lifter valley head stud bosses prevent blown head gaskets.
